Oliver Reynolds's latest collection is dominated by love poems, all of them conspicuous for the candor, tenderness, and power to convey strong feeling that are traditionally associated with the genre. Like the French troubadours, however, Reynolds is also an expert in intricate forms, some invented by himself, so that a large part of the pleasure communicated by Almost has to do with watching a breathtakingly accomplished artist find new challenges and then overcome them with apparent effortlessness.
